Damn this one was a tough read for me. It was hard to read because I knew it was the end of the series,a series I have seriously fallen in love with, and it was hard to read because Rylie & Derek's story is not wine and roses. In fact, I was afraid where the next page would take me.Rylie is so beautiful, and although she isn't your typical beauty queen, she is probably the most beautiful of all the girls in this series because of her insane ability to be strong when everything falls apart. I have a fondness for women who are strong despite the heartache and devastation they go through. Rylie meets someone that she thinks might lead to a happily ever after, only to find out that there may not be such a thing as Happily Ever After.Derek, what can I say about this guy? He is panty melting hot! He is uber strong and he is my type of Alpha! Most importantly though, he is kind. And right now Rylie needs that. And he protects her and helps her move forward, he pretty much is the best man for the job. I loved the chemistry between Rylie and Derek. I loved that it took a while for them to find their rhythm and that they were able to conquer the fears and setbacks. Thank you Dawn, for finishing this series on such a powerful note. I really love what you did with Derek. I really love this series. I give this 5 lipsticks. If you haven't read this series, you need to. I was fortunate to be a beta reader for this book.
